Tales of Graces f Coming to PSN 3/26, Tales of Xillia on PS3 This Summer

This is Hideo Baba, producer of the Tales of franchise. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our fans in North America and Europe. It’s been an absolute pleasure attending various overseas events and interacting with so many of you. I really feel like we’ve been able to sustain our franchise for 15 years because of such a loyal fanbase. I cannot thank you enough.

Starting March 26th, we’ll be digitally distributing Tales of Graces f on PlayStation Network. I strongly urge anyone unfamiliar to the series to give it a shot. An epic adventure of unimaginable proportions awaits you! We will have two versions of the game available next week; the Standard Edition ($34.99) and Knight Edition ($54.99). The Tales of Graces f: Knight Edition will come bundled with more than 10 DLC items to help new adventurers on their quest including increased stats, health and currency.

For the first time in the franchise, you’ll be able to select between two main characters and experience the game from two different perspectives. It’s up to you whether you want to play as the male or female protagonist.

Tales of Xillia is a culmination of all our development efforts over the years, so I can’t wait for our western fans to try it out. We have a lot more events planned until the release of Tales of Xillia, so I strongly urge you to come visit us when you have the chance. I look forward to meeting all of you.

We’re planning on making this a Tales of filled year, so we have a lot of surprise announcements lined up — stay tuned! Thank you again to all of our fans who have supported us over the years. We hope for your continued support in 2013.

Graces seeing a digital release is pretty cool, even though I’ve had the game since day 1 (and gotten more than my money’s worth out of it!). I’m sure someone’s gonna ask about Vesperia PS3 here soon, but me… I’d like to see Tales of the Abyss hit PS2 classics at some point. Still my favorite title in the series to this day, that one. :)

Hi I really like this game and the tales of series and I am really looking forward to tales of Xillia.

I will like to know exactly which DLC will contain the knight edition because I use to play that game with a couple of friend and we make reunions to play because we don’t like to play with the pc and we actually both 1 or 2 DLC. So I will like to know with witch DLC this edition will come.

I add my voice to the above voices: there’s a crowd of 5-10K players at the bare minimum that would gladly purchase Tales of Innocence R and tales of hearts R if they were localized, even if they were only available via digital purchase, like other titles have been doing.

Can’t wait for Xillia to come out! I got Graces at launch, so this isn’t really big news for me but it’s still nice to see it’s getting a price drop + digital release so more people can enjoy it. Top notch, amazing game, really glad that you guys are localizing the series again, the Tales games are some of my favourite titles.

Awesome, I love Tales of Graces f and will surely be getting Tales of Xillia when it comes out. Hopefully, since you plan on making this is a Tales of filled year, this means we’ll be getting Tales of Innocence R or Tales of Hearts R, either of which I would be really excited about. In any case, keep up the good work.

Series has a LOT that can be done to keep it relevant in the west. Will Namco do it? We can only hope! That right there is 6 games, 6 games that gamers have wanted for so long now. Please, Namco, allow us to give you our money in exchange for those awesome titles.

Oh gosh! This is awesome! My PS3 disc reader has been broken and I’ve been buying games on PSN. This is great news, going to be definitely purchasing this. :) Really really hope Tales of Xillia will be released on PSN day one! :D

thanks for finally releasing it
quick question what took so long
tales of graces f took 1 year to go from japan to the us (not including the wii version, dont forget ps3 has more content than the wii version)
Xillia is going on about 2 years now (cant say exact as there is no street date)
